Going to be in Seattle for the next year. I keep hearing about the "Seattle Freeze" where people don't really like accepting outsiders into their social cliques.
How do I meet people/make friends while there?

Why would this be an issue? Most people in Seattle aren't originally from Seattle. Also it seems to have become a magnet for some of the worst people in the country. Something like Nirvana or Mudhoney would never come out of there today.
Why would you want to make friends with people like that?
This
Why are you even interested in making friends after college? Other random dudes don’t serve any purpose once you’re done with school
I don’t even like when other men look at me or sit near me on a bus. I get up and move somewhere else. I wanna kill random dudes all the time just for being there
>Other random dudes don’t serve any purpose once you’re done with school
Speak for yourself. I got my
>Hunting buddies
Increase our odds of a kill for big game
>Gym/CoD bros
Good to work out with and good for vidya wins
>Art friends

Helped me learn their languages and offer a place to stay
>Any friends
Help one another out of a random bind
I’m white but the kind of white dudes that say “buddies/my buddy” with complete seriousness I could never get along with.
There’s something gay and homoerotic about it. White dudes who say “my friend” know what I’m saying
You sound like a homosexual
>There’s something gay and homoerotic about it.
This says a lot more about you than it does about them.
> Also it seems to have become a magnet for some of the worst people in the country.
Basically this. The number of people there worth talking to is so low its statistically impossible to meet them in a short trip. Use it as a homebase to make some trips to some ok mountains from and admit you made a mistake in going there
The Midwest transplants and Amazon drones, which both make up the majority of the population, amd stay in their little cliques of people they went to college with, not associating with outsiders. Lived for a couple years and never made any connections
Frick off we're full. Enough homosexuals and morons here. Just saw some guy earlier today jogging with his misshapen ladyboy wife.
Is the weather really that suicide tier? Idgaf about “muh freeze” from a bunch of elitist passive white homosexuals (dw im white) I just want a perspective of the weather from an actually Seattle resident.
I live in Denver btw and it’s pretty comfy. The city is a ghost town except for several pockets where well to do white people take their frumpy, cottage cheese slampig for a date. I like it that way. The apes that do live here don’t really have a homebase inside the highway loop of downtown. Neither do beans. They have to their shithole hovels outside the beltloop
Why don't you take little trips over to check it out first if you're that unsure.
Told you lots in your moving to Seattle thread. Weather's fine. Many people are just neurotic c**ts.
I have all the pertinent info in a note on my phone so thanks for that. That thread was not in vain
It’s foggy overcast drizzle and 40 from November to may with almost no sun and the sun sets at 4pm unless you ski you can’t do much outdoor activities in the winter
Damn that’s pretty grim
Denver mogs Seattle in almost every conceivable way except maybe average job pay and the idea that Seattle is less blacked or browned than Denver is ridiculous. There's a reason all the Seattle techgays moved to Denver and doubled the CoL in 3 years once remote work became a big thing.
Yea I’m tempted to just stay here. Denver markets itself as a libertarian/dude weed mountain man oasis, but it’s actually a lot more right leaning than it lets on. That’s been my developing perception. Some guys I work with who are from outside Denver say there’s still sundown town tier cities and counties
IMO, Colorado is the most polarized state in the country. The politics are extremely cringe in both directions. The state has the a literal gay for a governor and then another part of the state elected someone who
>owned a gun themed restaurant where handling guns while dining was encouraged
Part of the problem is Colorado was very blue collar so there is a large origina conservative population but then a shit ton of richgays from norcal and New England moved in to go skiing. The ranchers absolutely loathe the people in Aspen and vice versa. I'm surprised there's not actual domestic terrorism incidents like what happened in OKC.
The polarization may actually be what neutralizes extremist political bs on either side of the spectrum from metastasizing into pure cancer
>surprised there have been no domestic terror incidents
People in Colorado are all on drugs. There’s a mass shooting in that state every 18 months.
Colorado is great. Denver is the most overrated, most bland city in America. It might as well be Indianapolis
Summers have been boiling hot in Denver the last few years. Upper 90s every day for weeks. Winter you get all the arctic winds and snowstorms that come with living on the high plains. Spring you get the severe weather. Seattle may be 50 degrees half the year, but if you're white, you shouldn't find such temps intolerable. Weather in Seattle is overall much milder than Denver.
Denver has a worthless little river called the South Platte, while Seattle mogs with the Puget Sound.
I can't say how Seattle's street scene compares to Denver's as I have never hung around Seattle, but my little podunk Colorado mountain town has more life on a summertime weekend than Denver does.
And Denverites are just as anti-social toward strangers as anywhere in the American West. It's a hallmark of the region...everyone is tired of seeing new faces come and go.
Many mountain towns are very White, but people tend to avoid too much political expression or discussions. Colorado liberals are somewhat more common sense than the loony leftists on the West Coast, and the same goes for the conservatives; they don't do open carry marches into Walmart or get into brawls with antifa. Trump flags and bumper stickers are relatively rare in Colorado. The polarization is kept under wraps, but it most definitely is present.
Versus what, every 18 days for Texas and every 18 hours for Chicago?
>It's a hallmark of the region...everyone is tired of seeing new faces come and go.
I like it. I want to be left alone
There is something evil about seattle that causes people there to be antisocial, unfriendly freaks.
Leaving seattle cured my depression.
It's a self-reinforcing trend.
>Person moves to Seattle
>Notices everyone is an unfriendly butthole
>If they like being around unfriendly people they stay, if they don't like it they leave
There ain't shit to do in Seattle
The combo of insufferable, Marxist identity politics types and Libertarian tech bros that together make up 75% of the population in the greater Seattle area is the combo of Satan.
I have a decent friend group, but it's taken me over a decade to build that, and a lot of friends moved back to whatever shithole they moved out of because it ultimately gets too expensive to live here unless you get lucky on the job front.
Lived in Seattle for a year. The freeze is real, the city fricking sucks, nobody can drive (like actually), and everyone is so, far, up, their, own, ass. Try to find a club or something, or other people who literally just moved. After a year or two, the freeze takes everyone and turns them into pompous dick hipster zombies.
You need to go and do group activities. PNW are hostile to strangers but friendly with anybody doing the same activity as them. Literally anything. You can't just walk around in public hoping somebody takes an interest in you, it won't happen.
>How do I meet people/make friends while there?
You don’t. I’ve lived in the PNW most my life and I can safely say the locals here are some of the coldest motherfrickers in existence.
this, I'm a native and don't have any friends and don't really want them
The Seattle freeze isn't that we don't like outsiders, it's that we are skeptical of any strangers. We dont like to wave or chit chat. It just seems cold to outsiders.
This is not normal in any culture though, except for northern europeans, who are widely and rightfully perceived as autistic by everyone else.
I'm aware, it was an adjustment when I moved. It's just how it is there.
Seattle has the lowest hot to ugly women in the US considering its size. Lots of fat uggo marxist types with very little qts. Dating scene is saturated with delusional liberals, and
tech losers with too much money and no pussy.
Don't recommend.
Yea snarky dork homosexuals piss me off. What about Aurora avenue? Watching YouTube vids I’ve seen some good snatch over there
you don't
you guys are all fricking moronic and have never spent longer than a day here. Seattle freeze is real, but not as bad as they say it is. People just don't initiate conversations. They don't nod when you walk past them. But if you start talking to them they'll open up and be reasonably friendly.
Seattle is like a homosexual boston, people don't really care about presenting themselves as friendly, but that doesn't mean they aren't.
t. moved from small town colorado to seattle 2 years ago
You're the fricking problem, homosexual.
Does anyone else think Seattle has a weird vibe?
Yeah it's called constantly being afraid the homeless will attack you, you'll step on a needle, or a basketball american will rob you.
Can I just show up with 10k as a skill-less loser and eke out an existence for myself? I’ll live in the shitty neighbors and work shit jobs to start off
Went from one of the most beautiful and cool cities in the world to one of the absolute biggest shit holes in North America in less than 20 years.
Seattle is a fricking hell hole that's filled with nothing but drug addicts, filth and the biggest fricking toxic homosexual scumbag leftist buttholes in the universe. Seattle was literally one of the best blue collar towns in the world filled with Boeing employees and port workers back in the day. But Seattle is only a place for lost souls and the soulless now.
There's virtually nothing in this shithole worth seeing. The entire county is moronicly expensive because "LULZ FRICK WHITE PEOPLE" and you will literally not find worse more shitty fricking scumbag people on the planet.
The israelites moved here in the 90s and slowly decimated this town. Only a nuclear bomb will save it now.
